About this business
Located in Buckhead, Varasano’s Pizzeria is home to what some critics consider the best pizza in Atlanta. Owner Jeff Varasano spent years traveling the globe and perfecting his pizza recipe in his home kitchen before opening a pizza joint of his own in 2009. Varasano’s offers thin crust New York style pizzas, piping hot and slightly charred around the edges. Traditional favorites like Margherita are on the menu as well as unique creations like the New Haven Clam or Dolce with Medjool dates and Fontina cheese. Sta... read more

The pizza that started it all. – In the last year or so, Atlanta has gone crazy over pizza and the gossip that comes with it. From Fritti shuttling in Italian pizza czars who didn't speak any English to Concentrics getting in the game with a coal oven pizzeria downtown, it hasn't just been Atlanta's freak-out over Antico that's been buzzy. But the reason why Atlanta's pizza stock has risen 1000% in the last 18 months, has been because of one man, Jeff Varasano. The brainy, passionate and slightly neurotic restaurant owner wa... read more
Varasano's.... Is it Worth the Hype? – If there’s one thing that Atlantans seem to be starved for and craving it’s a decent slice of pizza. Now I’ll admit that, I’m not an aficionado on NY pizza, but I did spend a year in New Haven, CT which is truly one of the pizza meccas in the US. And trust me, while I was there I definitely ate my fair share of pizza. Thus, I’ve had some of the best pizza this country has to offer. And while I accept that Atlanta will never rival New York in terms of quality pizza shops or sheer number ... read more
The Best You Can Buy – Finally, a Wonderful Pizza Bar. Great food, wondeful Flat Crust Pizza and the Best Sauce. Luv the Salumi Pizza, the Spiced Olives andSauce are Wonderful. Great Fun Bar with two Big Screen TV,s for BallGames and Fun Bar Atmosphere. Wonderful Jeff !!! And Big hugs to Michelle, Jen and Bartender Tony....Cruise Director
All I can say is WOW – Varasano's Pizza is, hands down, the best pizza I have ever eaten. The crust is amazing, because Jeff has perfected his own yeast formula which makes for a perfectly cooked, scrumptiously charred, pizza. My favorite is the Nana's by far because of the exquisite blend of spices used in the pizza sauce itself. And I can never get tired of the Nana's cuz I can add pepperoni or their really good sausage... Next, my favorite would have to be the Salumi which is their meats pizza. They use the highest grade ... read more
Varasano's comes damn close to living up to the hype. – With his underground pizza parties reaching cult status, obsessed NY pizza blogger Jeff Varasano opened his restaurant with crazy hype swirling around it. NYC quality? Better than Fritti? Does he import the water? Once you get past the dramatics (and the corporate feel to the place) the pizzas are wonderfully unique, landing somewhere in between a NYC street slice and a Naples-style pie. Gourmet variations topped with arugula and capocollo instantly impress, but the Nan... read more
It's pizza from the future, baby. – In Short Pizza-obsessive blogger turned restaurateur Jeff Varasano, once famed for hosting private pizza parties, is spreading his purist pie gospel to the masses. Varasano’s namesake restaurant occupies a long, slender room in SoBu, boasting large window views of Peachtree Street along with an exposed kitchen bustling with white-clad pizza bakers. Thin-crusted pies are baked crispy at super-high temps for small amounts of time to elicit the signature char, bubbly cheese, and incredibly fl... read more
Try the caramelized onion – The caramelized onion pizza is hands down my favorite pizza in Atlanta. It's not your typical pizza - it's a white pie with emmanthaler cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh thyme. The freshness of the herbs make a big difference in the overall presentation and taste/aroma of the pizza. I've also had the Nana's (with fresh oregano on it) and the Margherita (with fresh basil). Freshness is a key word here, because that's what everything is. From the sauce to the cheese to the herbs, everything tast... read more
Excellent, Thin Crust Pizza – Went to Varasano's with a friend and we tried a margarita pizza and another with sausage both were delicious. I love the super thin crust pizza and it is much better than pizza I have had in New York.
